The script elasticsearch, how you call it with absolute path under system dir /usr/lib, has problems in traversing the path to find the parent folder and set the variable ES_HOME.
You should use an init script, like provided by the distributions or the service wrapper, with preconfigured environment, so ES_HOME and ES_CLASSPATH (i.e. the $ES_HOME/lib folder) can be used.
